CRC-ASPEx has extensive experience helping organizations with their ERP Software Implementations. ERP stands for Enterprise-wide Resource Planning, and ERP software encompasses all of the major functions and processes used by organizations from all industries. Major ERP software providers include such vendors as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft and Deltek. The products they provide encompass functionality such as Accounting/Finance, Manufacturing, Human Capital/Human Resources, Supply Chain, Customer Relationship Management, Resource Planning, Project Planning, Inventory Management, Sales and Distribution, and many other critical functions used by major organizations.
Because each organization is different, the requirements of your organization are used to determine which ERP solution best fits your organization. Buying the biggest and most feature-rich application might result in a more expensive solution than is required. Buying a less powerful application might result in an inadequate solution that requires customized extensions which are difficult and expensive to maintain. It is important to match your requirements to software vendors’ capabilities to maximize your return on this strategic investment in ERP software.
Configuration and Reporting are two critical steps to an effective ERP implementation. Configuration involves the steps used to customize the packaged software to meet your requirements. Major ERP systems provide configuration options that allow you to customize the package to meet your business processes and business rules. For example, the way you recognize revenue and expenses can be customized to your business and the nature of your contracts with your clients. Additionally, the value of the data within an ERP application is only as good as the information that can be obtained from it. The information you use to manage your business comes from the reporting capabilities of your ERP system. We can maximize the value of that information to your business, by helping you develop reports that meet the strategic needs of all levels of your organization. Information can be protected, so it is not divulged to competitors or to inappropriate levels within your organization.
Our firm works with your organization to choose the right application for your environment. We also help you redesign your strategic business processes to capture the efficiencies that your new software provides. We train your staff so they maximize their effectiveness within their function. The purchase and implementation of ERP software is expensive. This purchase should be an investment, and we help you maximize the return on that investment (ROI).
